A wonderful collection - thanks. Particularly enjoyed the links on Koch and the tea partiers hypocrisy regarding the government and "welfare". There's a lot of that going around...
Just wanted to stop and say that I so appreciate your links here. Saves me a lot of time, and I learn a lot as well. You tap into places I don't go, and I've found some interesting stuff. Good work Infidel!
I enjoy your link lists too. I've found a lot of unusual links I wouldn't have known about otherwise.
